59 NFL players test positive for Coronavirus
Initially, the NFLPA said 95 players had tested positive,
but the players union amended the number on their website on Tuesday evening
and said the previous number included all known positives across the league,
including staff.
Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott and Broncos pass rusher
Von Miller are among the players who are known to have had COVID-19.
The announcement comes days after NFL and the NFLPA agreed
to coronavirus testing protocols prior to the start of training camp.
"Our union has been pushing for the strongest testing,
tracing, and treatment protocols to keep our players safe," the players
union said Monday. "The testing protocols we agreed to are one critical
factor that will help us return to work safely and gives us the best chance to
play and finish the season."
